Chapter 76 The Great Migration of 300 Million People
It is no exaggeration to call it the strongest earthquake in history!
It was even thousands of times more powerful than the 9.5-magnitude earthquake that struck Nanlatsu Chiguo a few years ago!
Moreover, severe earthquakes that often occur in the ocean will cause a large tsunami.
Li Hongxing felt a faint sense of fear in his heart.
He conservatively estimated that this major earthquake that was condensing energy would at least exceed magnitude ten!
How high would the tsunami caused by an earthquake of this magnitude be?
He couldn't imagine it.
"Then what should we do?"
Seeing the serious expressions of the two people, the old man in the first seat asked in a deep voice.
The high seas of the Pacific Ocean are only about two thousand kilometers away from the mainland of China.
Very close!
If a major earthquake breaks out, China will be the hardest hit area.
"How about we issue an announcement in advance and ask coastal residents not to stay at home?"
Li Hongxing thought for a while and then said.
"No, the intensity of this earthquake is too strong. You can't be safe just by hiding outside!"
Chen Feng immediately rejected this suggestion and continued: "I think that in order to ensure the safety of the people, we should start moving all coastal residents to the inland now!"
"What?!"
Hearing his words, Li Hongxing and Deng Xiao at the side widened their eyes.
Relocation of all coastal residents?
You heard that right!
"Leader Chen, there are two to three hundred million people living in the coastal areas of our country. How can we accommodate such a huge migration of people?" Deng Xiao asked with a frown.
He believed that this matter was an impossible task.
A population of nearly 300 million is no child’s play!
How can you say that you are accommodating?
Li Hongxing also thought that this was a bit too much.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Feng's eyes were firm: "For the time being, we will use military tents and requisition vacant houses in inland cities to accommodate people who need to move."
"But will these people be willing? What if they cause stress and cause unrest?" Deng Xiao asked worriedly.
After all, it makes it easy for people to give up their homes and leave the place where their ancestors have lived for generations.
Easier said than done?
Moreover, a major earthquake in the Pacific Ocean is just a speculation and is very likely to happen.
This also means that there is still a certain chance that it will not happen.
So if there is no earthquake by then, what should the Chinese government explain to the people?
Say our prediction failed?
Hasn't this become an international joke?
"No matter what the consequences are, I am solely responsible for it!"
Chen Feng stood up with a very solemn expression: "If we don't move out the residents along the coast, if a major earthquake occurs, millions or even tens of millions of people will be killed. I will never let this happen, even if it is just a speculation!
"
I am willing to take responsibility alone!
Seeing his extremely firm attitude, Deng Xiao couldn't help but put his hands on his chin and stopped talking.
He still didn't agree with this proposal.
At this time, the old man in the first seat pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Concerning this matter, Chen Feng, as the leader of the top action team, you can make any decision!"
Obviously, the commander supports Chen Feng in this matter.
Maybe a big earthquake might not happen.
But if it happens, the casualties and losses to China will be immeasurable!
As the leader of a country, he must do it even at the risk of being criticized and reviled by everyone in the world!
The old man in the first seat waved his hand and said loudly: "If we can save nearly 300 million people, then there is no harm in risking the credibility of the Chinese government!"
....
The next day, eight o'clock in the morning.
National News Bulletin:
[Due to national strategic reasons, it has been decided by a joint meeting of the Central Council and the Supreme Action Group that all coastal residents will move to inland areas!]
In major cities, residents' association staff went to each door to announce the situation to ensure that everyone was aware of it.
This decision of the country directly shocked the whole country.
All coastal residents move inland?!
What is going to happen?
A real explosion!
The hot search list on platforms such as Bibo has been dominated by the topic "New national directive! All coastal residents will move inland!"
Fortunately, the previous incident in Nankou Village made the Chinese people somewhat prepared.
They all believed that they did this to prevent monster attacks from happening again.
Therefore, the opposition was not intense.
'They are building the Great Steel Wall on the seaside and relocating coastal residents. How terrifying are those monsters?'
'I am from Ludao City, and I am willing to respond to the country's instructions. I believe that the country must do this for our safety!'
‘Aren’t there seven legions and 30 million soldiers stationed along the coast? Why do we have to move inland with such a powerful military force?’
'I hope everyone can understand, and the country is not asking us to move permanently, just to move for a period of time!'
One hour after the national announcement was issued.
Municipal governments and community residents' associations in various places have begun preparations for the great migration.
For some residents who were old, weak, sick, disabled, or had limited mobility, staff were directly sent to pack their luggage for them.
The radio trucks on the road play one after another, playing in a non-stop loop.
'Respond to the national directive! Please send a representative from each household to the designated place in the local community to select a new temporary residence location!'
'Answering the call of the nation...'
Hainan Province, Asia City.
As the only island provinces in China, they are the first areas that need to be evacuated.
At this time, people here have basically packed their luggage and formed a long queue outside, getting on the bus one by one.
"Mom, it's so hot. Will our new home be this hot too?"
A little girl with a chubby face looked curiously at the gentle woman beside her.
The woman glanced at her husband, smiled, knelt down and said softly: "Baby, our new home is in the most famous summer resort in China, and there is a big waterfall there!"
The little girl said happily: "That's great!"
In this long queue, people basically hold longing for their new home.
We are proud to respond to the country's call!
At the same time, many cities in the interior are also busy.
The state directly expropriated those unsold houses in new construction projects.
In the square and on the outskirts, large blue tents were set up!
Looking from a distance, it is extremely spectacular.
Airlines from various places have urgently adjusted their plans, allocating all planes to give priority to transporting migrant residents.
There are lights everywhere!
....
Three hundred million people moved inland!
When this news spread abroad, they immediately exploded.
'After this Eastern country launched a massive military conscription and launched an era of massive infrastructure construction, it once again launched an even more astonishing move, with the migration of hundreds of millions of people!'
'Holy Mother, China is so crazy! I'm curious, what are they afraid of? Are they the monsters that attacked the fishing villages some time ago?'
